Expect a blend of my personal favorites, insightful articles from other great minds, and a touch of coding humor to keep things light.* --- ## Highlights from NoLongerSet.com [VBA’s Case Changing “Feature”VBA likes to change the casing of our code (upper/lower/mixed).

While this decision may have made sense in 1972 when the language was created, one wonders why the sins of Kernighan and Ritchie have been blindly perpetuated for the last thirty-three years. I realize this is![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/eb/aa/ebaa2665-01a8-4415-8825-69d1f0e8fd19/content/images/size/w256h256/2020/06/3cffc4b347c3587f19fe222caaac69f63b9a5e73.png)Coding HorrorJeff Atwood![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/eb/aa/ebaa2665-01a8-4415-8825-69d1f0e8fd19/content/images/size/w160/2025/01/coding-horror-logo-transparency.png)](https://blog.codinghorror.com/the-case-for-case-insensitivity/) ### Support for `clsStandardLetterCasing` in the VCS Addin The approach I described in the third article above is now [available out of the box](https://github.com/joyfullservice/msaccess-vcs-addin/issues/599#issuecomment-3468333748) in Adam Waller's VCS Addin ([dev version](https://github.com/joyfullservice/msaccess-vcs-addin/tree/dev) 4.1.5+): > I know we have had a lot of discussion here with various approaches to handling the letter casing challenges with VBA code. While I am not opposed to more sophisticated and elegant approaches, even branching out into other add-ins, I decided to take a more simplistic integrated approach for now. The benefit is that this is built right into the add-in, and works right out of the box without needing to utilize a custom `RunBeforeExport` hook. It simply checks for the existence of a class module named `clsStandardLetterCasing` and applies any letter casing rules as described in > If you prefer to use another approach, or dedicated add-in for this, no problem! The integrated feature doesn't really add any overhead and is simply ignored if you don't have the specially named class in your project. But for those that just need a simple solution that is easy to set up, I think this might be a help. (I know I plan to use it for some projects.) *Cover image generated by Ideogram*
